The echocardiographic examination disclosed asymmetric septal hypertrophy with a septal diastolic thickness of 17 mm and a septum to free wall ratio of 1.5. The left ventricular size and function were normal. Thus, asymmetric septal hypertrophy may represent subclinical heart muscle involvement in Kearns-Sayre syndrome.
